STORY BY RAYTHE REIGN

VISUALS BY REED HILL

Conner Ramsey is haunted by dreams of being dragged down by a nameless thing into the black abyss of the ocean; unable to breath, but unable to die either. Do his dreams of drowning have something to do with his long-dead mother's delusions that she and Conner were meant to live on the ocean's floor

After Conner's father also dies in a freak accident and his research into his dead wife's family comes to light, Conner and his beautiful stepmother, Lily, decide to seek the answers to Conner's maternal past; a past that hints at a terrible future for Conner if he cannot unlock the mysteries his father uncovered.

On this journey, Conner and Lily are forced to acknowledge their forbidden desire for one another. A desire that has been simmering for years even when Lily was his father's wife.
